The Xiaomi VR Play is on pre-sale and it will ship after September 22 but the slot-in VR experience will work with most 4.7 to 5.7 inch phones. You just need to zip lock your phone in, and it should work just fine.
Since Gear VR sells for $99 you can tell that Xiaomi has a chance to fight with the big boys. The real question is how good will they feel as most of the picture quality comes from the lens they use.
There is no doubt that Gear VR and Xiaomi VR Play will both be manufactured in China, so there should be no difference there, but Xiaomi will offer you six different designs that we mentioned in our original article.
So Fudzilla readers who want to get one can just use the LHXMVR coupon code at the checkout, courtesy of Gearbest. Google’s commitment to support Daydream and the fact that both Qualcomm and MediaTek have serious plans about Daydream should give Xiaomi VR Play some wings especially at a price below $20.
